This city, are the financial agents of the Clncin-
natl, Hamilton 81 Dayton railroad. One of the
hrm this morning said that after the Ives assign
ment the directors of the railroad turned over
certain books but that the firm had never, in
the remotest possible way, had any relations
with Henry s. Ives. Another member OF the
firm said: I'VE have the certificate and trans

This morning the proceedings in the reference
tase before Judge Davis, TO compel Henry s.
Ives 81 Co. to show cause why they had not pro-
Ruced certain missing books and turned them
over to the assignee, was summariy stopped by
the order from Judge Donohue, of the Common
Pleas Court, based an affidavit OF John j.
Davis, which cited as cause for asking the order
that the referee had exceeded mis- authority in
examining Mr. Ives searchingly after attorney
Sullivan, representing the assignee. had rested
his examination. Judge Davis postponed the
hearing until p. NJ, to give Mr.. Sullivan
chance apply to the court to rescind the order.
In the afternoon there was a change in the
tics of Mr.. Ivess counsel. Mr.. Adams announced
that he would permit the examination of any
witnesses whatever without an order from the
court Mr.. Ives assented. The hearing will be
resumed to. morrow morning, when the book
keeper of I'll. s. Ives & Co. will be examined and
the ianitor of the building where the Office of
the firm is situated. The effort to discover the
missing books will be continued.

How the Earnings Compare.

All the summaries of railroad earnings show
the same general tendency-a decrease in the
rate of increase over last year with a slight in
crease in the proportion of net earnings. The
Chronicles figures show a steady reduction
from 81 per cent in March to II per cent. in
juno in the gross earnings for fty-six roads
reporting while the gain in the net has changed
)rregularly from 30 in March to 81 in June. 1t
Is TO be noted, however. that the increase last
year was rapid after the spring fairly opened.
The Pacific, Southern and Eastern lines show
the greatest improvement while most OF the
other and more Important groups show a smaller
percentage of gain than for the six months. The
gain is most important on the Southern roads,
but the coal roads on account of the big gain
Reading, are the most conspicuous Bradstreets
tables for 102 roads give gain of ID per cent
for June over the corresponding month of last
year, and for July. The change is due both to
increased earnings in last year in July, COM
pared with June last year. and some falling off
in the July earnings this year, as compared with
the previous month.
For seven months ninety-nine roads show
increase of only 5 3 in mileage and 10. per cent.
in earnings. The Southern and Southwestern
lines show much larger gains in earnings than in
mileage, while the Granger roads show a falling
for the first week in August show gain of 14s
per cent and for the second week twenty nine
roads show a gain of ISL per cent.
